The Trump administration believes a complex procedural maneuver will allow the president’s former personal lawyer to remain in the position.

The Trump administration believes it has found a workaround to keep the president’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney and outflank federal judges who sought to replace her.

The Trump administration cleared the way for Alina Habba to remain in her role as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey on Thursday, an unusual move to withdraw her from consideration, enabling her to serve in an acting capacity.
